Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 6 small Red potatoes, quartered
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry using paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step locks in the flavor.
Place the sliced onion, carrots, and red potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a bed for the beef.
Transfer the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Add the bay leaf to the slow cooker for added flavor.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and discard it. Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
Serve hot with the vegetables and some of the cooking liquid drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
